NEW Elgato Stream Deck Mini - Review!

[@bradleibel1125]

I saw the title and was like "Mini review? But Frank you already did a full review of it..." And now I feel dumb 😁

[@randomfrankp]

😂

[@TAKV_gaming]

That’s a big bruh moment

[@akkurl]

So *THAT* happened

[@noahthegamer4563]

I have a mini one and I am now running out of keys. I use if this then that so I need folders for everything

[@alexandrosholthausen5706]

$100 is overpriced. For 50 more bucks you get almost triple the keys

[@zahidshabir4038]

The OG has been on sale MANY times for $80-$100 On Black Friday or Amazon Prime day you can EASILY get that for $100 or less

[@vtc5296]

The 15 key is $130 on Amazon right now

[@djbloo8996]

Ya but can you customize those and put folders in them and put images on them

[@alexandrosholthausen5706]

DJ Blue of course you can

[@silentbyte33]

Vannia Cuervo link?

[@hknapp-hj2sn]

Nice demonstration video. I recently got the Stream Deck Mini (6 buttons); I teach statistics online and it's been very useful having some the multikey functions defined as single-buttons. It took me about 10 minutes to figure out how to set it up. I'm very happy with it and it allows for 10 pages of definitions for the 6 keys.

[@ectoBRUH]

A little bit pricey dontcha think?? Just get some macros and stickers

[@satyavratwagle4336]

Yeah, especially with the regular Stream Deck going at $99.99 on Prime Day.

[@royalarchergaming3541]

Or if you own a keyboard with macros, I dont use macros or have any though

[@SuperIceBro1]

I was expecting a lengthy response from Taren

[@gustavotoledo3078]

Damian Cady Yeah but I mean, you can make a folder inside a folder (and on and on) allowing you to have infinite macros

[@vals9838]

Damian Cady No real competition for them right now

[@raphaelshay7083]

Wow, I really want this!! But what the hell is that price

[@spengd]

Raphael Shay 100$

[@opghmino4834]

1,000 subscribers with 0 videos more like 18 subscribers

[@banananutloaf1094]

LoganJP thst was completely unnecessary

[@Jacob-yj1py]

Was expecting maybe 60 $ or so ... 100! No thanks, almost the same as the OG.

[@zahidshabir4038]

The OG has been on sale MANY times for $80-$100 on Black Friday or Amazon Prime day you can EASILY get that for $100 or less

[@qwerty74]

Like he said, wait til Black Friday. Also, it has the best software on the market. Half the the cost is basically software lol.

[@LzysGraphics]

LeJebait Wdym. He compared it to the original stream deck they have the same software.

[@qwerty74]

Yes I know. I'm talking about the software itself. That costs money to make.

[@dannamanna99]

Well the OG is 150$. But has sales. I would imagine this would also have sales as well.

[@thena5045]

as always, great vid! you've rlly posted a lot this month man, respect.

[@antibanplay]

I just got it for 50 bucks from sale

[@xx3astmanxx287]

Getting ready to buy one of these at the end of the month. This appears to be an overall production game changer, not just for streaming. It will definitely come in handy for that too tho lol

[@TmouniTidio]

any news using it?

[@paran0ia7]

The fixed angle and attached cable are unfortunate, though I can understand why they chose to keep this model simpler and monolithic. It is at a good angle; pretty much perfect for the intended use cases, but the shallow slope of the larger units (when removed from their stand) is a very nice option to have.

[@OllieGames]

I was expecting it to be $50 Maximum, under half the keys, under half the price right?

[@dannamanna99]

Well the ORiginal is 150. I don’t see it that bad a deal. Most things are that way. Does the same thing. And I am sure would go on sale. It’s a choice one would need to make. Spend 50$ more just to have more buttons. Or not.

[@telstrra2522]

U FUCKING CHEAPSKATE HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAYHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[@LewisCherichel]

I love the original stream deck, and from what I see here this is just a cheaper version with a little added annoyance of having to scroll through more pages, but it’s definitely worth it because it’s half the price of the original, Great review.

[@NegussugeN]

+1 for the Menzingers

[@siddharth4261]

The most underrated channel on earth.

[@vitezhrabri4054]

Is there a cheap version of it or like a fake

[@lorentz.1341]

I was shocked when Frank said that the price was a hundred dollars, This is something i would expect to be in a ”Cool tech under 25$” video.

[@SnapThePigeon]

def not worth $100

[@zahidshabir4038]

The OG has been on sale MANY times for $80-$100 on Black Friday or Amazon Prime day you can EASILY get that for $100 or less

[@zapdos8441]

Use the app

[@kitn2507]

@Dhars still £100 lmao

[@HippyHippo1]

Its 60

[@NithinkrishnaS.S-ix5yy]

It is worth it bozo

[@christiandarkbeardtico1597]

FYI, Its now and only today on Amazon Prime for $59 vs the $99 tag. This is super new as I don't know anything about making videos, it seems you can do so much with this cool gadget.

[@h0rze423]

I got it and can't wait for it too arrive

[@DerekFletcher1]

Hardware Canucks, Linus Media, and you. Best tech channels imo. Always top 3 go to.

[@carpo719]

I so want one of these..... exactly what i need. can you use them to switch between cameras?

[@oshmarlindero898]

The regular stream deck has been on sale for $100 two or three times in the past so I would think the mini would be $80 or less. I think this will make people hesitant to buy the mini waiting for a sale on the original stream deck. On the other hand, Elgato may not lower the price of the original knowing they set their price point of $100 for the mini.

[@isaakjones7137]

Oshmar Lindero i agree

[@dannamanna99]

If original goes on sale, I would imagine this would go on sale as well. So could get it for 40$ or so on a sale.

[@superceosnow9103]

I have a really important question, can you use two stream decks connected to the same computer at the same time???

[@ok29700]

what you did at 6:00 minutes in wow you legend! amazing way to compare

[@mrmom79]

Need too put in to consideration the Tech and Hardware put into this and around $100 is definitely a Fair Price in my eyes!! It’s not just 6 push buttons with exchangeable icon stickers... this out 6 Miniature IPS screens and Quality made at that, if your a Serious Streamer then you’ll understand and it’s a good deal you want cheap stuff your gonna look cheap it’ll feel cheap does it work yes but that’s not really what this is about

[@LapisGoBlue]

Finally! Been interested in this

[@FiSHY4D]

People are actually complaining about the price of a custom macro mini keyboard that has build in displays and a ready to go application with integrations with every program they'd use? If you cant afford it you couldnt afford any of the programs you'd get any use out of using it with anyways...

[@Steelebourne]

It's $79 on Amazon & Best Buy right now (Dec 18, 2018).

[@D34doneTTV]

I kinda like the triangular design a little more, the stand can be quite strange in my experience if I try to move it. Longer cable is very nice, my normal stream deck isn't that bad in terms of cable length, but it should be longer for more ease and versatility. I LOVE the steam deck and I haven't even been using it too long. Im a new streamer that I am trying to get everything set up perfectly and it definitely made me feel more like a professional and make my stream experience feel better. I don't think the pricing is great on either device, but Prime Day allowed me to save a good amount. I'm still playing around with mine and adding more and more to each profile. It's been an amazing experience overall honestly. Now I just gotta figure out how to configure my Blue Yeti microphone more...

[@DavidWood2]

I think Elgato has got the design right in the new Stream Deck XL. The cable attaches at the Stream Deck end with a USB-C connector so you can use the USB-A to USB-C cable Elgato supply or use a cable of your choice (longer, shorter, USB-C on both ends etc.). The stand is a single fixed position, attaches with magnets and has a hole to feed the USB cable through. The cable attachment has been designed in a way that allows use with or without the stand. This means you can take your Stream Deck XL with you by lifting it off the stand, detaching the cable and using a spare cable you keep in your laptop bag whilst on the road. I wonder if we will see a mark 2 version of the 15 key Stream Deck using a similar design to the XL. The 6 key probably is best left as it is: removable cable, stand etc. make less sense with the small form factor.

[@TheCaffeinator]

umm what a ripoff the more key version is only $40 more If this was 50-60 i'd consider it a good deal. maybe $70

[@colin3455]

TheCaffeinator what’s it called

[@Matty__Matt]

That's so dope! Very good review

[@-kf1vf]

U make the best reviews

[@extinctnine]

Nice review. Well done and well made

[@moribundmurdoch]

Should one just use the Elgato Phone Stream Deck until the Stream Deck XL is in stock? Methinks I need a detachable cable. I need at least an 8FT cable for my particular set-up.

[@Terran0va_Plays]

This is like my 4th review I've watched and I think I'm going to just have to buy it and mess with it to really see what all I can do with it haha

[@andrezalcazar5826]

This is awesome! I never knew this existed! Thanks!

[@deception225]

6 key is on sale for $66 on Amazon right now.

[@Rettro404]

Just got one for 20 bucks! Love it!

[@cryptomsgaming2713]

I am happy with the normal size but a 6 key stream deck I would lack some keys so I don't have to use many folders. But I might see it as a good addition to my set up so I have all my animations on the normal size and the small one for main controle. Such as mic controle, stream on & off, media controle and such things.

[@Mista808]

Quick question. I'm looking for a tool that will allow me to play pre-determined audio files during my podcast. For example, sound effects! Would I be able to do that with this deck? I want to program things like sound effects, or sample a part of a song I've released and simply press a button on the steam deck and the audio comes in during my podcast etc. I'm hoping this is capable of doing that and it's simple to do and setup? Thanks for the review!

[@borntorunmassagefitnesscon8295]

Can I use this to move between apps and cameras for online workshops and courses when presenting?

[@jamo9866]

This helped me sooooo much thank you!!!!!

[@dannamanna99]

Can’t wait to get. So can you set up to have a button on first screen to go to more options as well? Like a second page to have things like shadowplay for recording etc.

[@christiandavis1914]

I dont currently have a computer at all nore would I stream. But they should make a 9 key. The perfect amount in My opinion.

[@hoppy_engineer7698]

Great Video & Thanks For Sharing 👍🏼

[@CorporateMotions]

Like I said before, always the coolest gadgets

[@azizelouaer6698]

if it is available in Tunisia I will surely buy it.

[@thereconguy7352]

yo dude nice vid this helps me out alot thx!

[@zendur9086]

Right now, the price on a website is 78 dollars, do you think it's worth it to get the mini and not the big one?

[@ManNenntIhnLenny]

I wish those Pudding keycaps were available for the german layout :c

[@kissmyash2992]

FYI this is $60 now on Amazon and at BestBuy!!

[@benc9015]

Love this thing! Thank you for the awesome vid!!!

[@JeanRodo]

Got one for 80 bucks and with the ability to create pages using the profiles feature I basically have all the buttons I need!

[@neek247]

how do you get it to go from 1 icon on the device itself to the extras when you click it? like folders within folders

[@uther10]

Great vid and clear and concise review, other than the pronunciation of gif.

[@DopamineOverload]

Can't adjust the angle at all, though... right? Kind of a drag...

[@mg_ethxn]

Gif support was suggested by Tarran @ Linus Tech Tips

[@chrisplusplus6232]

i hope somebody created this into an app, turning ipad & androidTab screens into multiple special keys similar to that in the video but doing it into the tablet's screen. And also additional controls like dragging-control something and make the, for example, the exposure bar (and similar) on photoshop or premiere to follow, instead of purchasing that elgato keypad.

[@Liam95001]

can you stream and play music on the stream with it?

[@WilliamCollier]

Could you not have a back button and have it go back automatically after say 5 seconds with no button presses? That would hive you a whole extra button in each folder!

[@nthn-]

William Collier what I want is nested folders tbh

[@chickenwangeater8404]

I feel like this man has a new pc every video

[@andrewclemo4506]

How do you get ur stream deck to show ur icons coz I’m isnt

[@parkersaffiliaterocketrevi5620]

I loved this video! Planning on getting one! Please do another “Back to School” video for 2018. It’s already August!

[@MCLUDAH]

Thanks

[@Fastiun]

Over half the keys. About the same price considering the original sold for 100 on prime day. What is the idea behind this product? Spend the extra 40 for 9 more keys. Or save a ton and just set up macros.

[@Glass_Of_Tea]

Once programed can it run on another computer without the software?

[@OnAirRecords]

Thanx

[@RedDirtProductions-nr6so]

Can you hook multiple cameras up to a four different angles?

[@DisruptionNetwork]

I see you have the original deck. Are there any issues in using this and the full-size deck at the same time on the same machine?

[@DBLCreations]

I loved it! Thanks Frank! I'm going with the 15 key :-)

[@rexxo4246]

Can you use this for simple tasks like start the calculator, VLC media player, turn the PC into sleep mode?

[@firemannss]

Great little product that has an awesome look. However, the price point is off, IMHO, but the value added that you can do much more with it than just streaming things. Issue is now, SLOBS has a free app that does the same thing for your phone. Free is key.

[@karpytv]

does the mini and the regular have software? Like r they the exact same thing just different sizes? Or is the mini better?

[@GoxBoy]

i came in here to be informed about how one actually uses one. cus im not buying anything until i know what in the world it does. haha. new to this. i will probably buy the mini one just to see if it works well for what i want it for. im tired of switching screens mid stream in order to change,pause or start music, scenes etc.

[@ohmygodcaiden]

“It’s not just for streaming” *says you can also use it for twitch and KZbin*

[@miguelgarrido6826]

You should rewatch that part cos that's not what he said

[@harmkraats]

Love it man!!!

[@yeshayavarghese350]

Amazing product!!!

[@Tyflow]

Can you record like a regular elgato?

[@alfieboy]

Do you use a greenscreen in the demo?

[@toruoikawa600]

As always good video

[@Natewu188]

I would rather spend that on a mini touch screen that i can plug into my PC and do the same thing..

[@whelp4752]

Handy little gadget, I'll add it to my wish list 😉 thanks

[@tacticalpotato5665]

it looks great but is it worth the 99 dollars?

[@jonasboards7351]

Has the old Stream-Deck the same Software as the Mini?

[@randomfrankp]

yes

[@ericmcclelland7151]

Does that mean you can now use gifs on the 15 key stream deck?

[@noxious_nights]

@@ericmcclelland7151 probably

[@astrqI]

Does it have to have folders?

[@ferbzy1826]

So does it work like a capture card???

[@setl315]

Od your dog welsh corgi pembroke or cordigan?

[@stevemaster85]

Really tough question: I record classical music concerts, I have 3 cameras for 3 different angles and a projector that shows live only one camera. I have no money for a professional mobile tv studio. If I get 3 elgato cam link, a notebook and this stream deck mini, will I be able to switch seamlessly between cameras? and maybe add some overlays? are there any noticeable delays? Thank you

[@randomfrankp]

It should work, not too sure about latency though because I've never had more than 1 connected at a time...but great question and good thinking to put this to use. If there is no delay being fed into the computer, then there wouldnt be any delay on the devices end

[@Tyflow]

How do you get those gifs

[@h1ll3634]

in my country the stream deck mini is 1/4 the price of the full size one (not the xl)

[@sebastianzander87]

Is it possible to configure the Stream Deck so that the buttons change based on what application has focus/is in the foreground?

[@GameCyborgCh]

did the bigger streamdeck's software get updated aswell?

[@DavidWood2]

The Stream Deck software covers the entire Stream Deck ecosystem - original, Mini, XL and Mobile (the iOS Stream Deck app). All the improvements in the software are available on the original Stream Deck.

[@reidsunshine]

Does the original streamdeck have the same features such as gifs?

[@mesdimo3]

Wait will my stream deck normal not the mini have the gifs still? Is it a software update or only on the mini?

[@GlacidRumble]

How do u create these and put link in

[@kikar92]

cool love it hop to get one

[@dillon7832]

Well… hop to it.

[@Andreus1]

Def getting this

[@xanderpetersen621]

AndreusMagnus why? For $40 more you get 9 more keys.. $100 is unrealistic for just 6

[@enrico8269]

Petersen Xander It's not about how much you're getting for your money, some people just prefer a smaller stream deck over the original.

[@michaelmuirhead1734]

Can you add what ever you want to key KZbin Google Spotify Folder Vlc media Word document

[@hermannel1310]

Will this device be able to switch between cameras and mics during a Zoom session?

[@theboii7411]

I love your channel

[@vizxythepro6638]

does a usb microphone work with this stream deck mini
